If security is a reporting function, this isn’t your seat.

If you believe security is infrastructure, and infrastructure is strategy - keep reading.

Our client operates at the intersection of institutional financial infrastructure, stablecoin settlement, and agentic AI. This is regulated, system-level architecture built for scale, scrutiny, and public-market readiness. As the company expands its AI-driven financial stack and settlement rails, security must evolve from control function to core business enabler.

They’re hiring a CISO to build that foundation. Reporting into the C-Suite with Board exposure, you will own regulatory cybersecurity compliance while designing a modern, automated, defensible security program.

You will:

Own the global cybersecurity program under NYDFS Part 500 and public-market governance standards
Translate infrastructure risk into clear Board-level business metrics
Lead SEC disclosure readiness and incident materiality processes
Establish governance for agentic AI and programmable money movement
Secure the stablecoin lifecycle - from protocol integrity to reserve interfaces
Architect an identity-first, zero-trust environment across human and non-human actors
Move from manual GRC to continuous controls monitoring and policy-as-code
Embed security into engineering without slowing product velocity
Lead incident response, resilience strategy, and third-party risk management
Build and develop a high-performing security team

You’ll thrive here if:

You’ve spent 10+ years in Information Security, including regulated financial environments
You’ve operated under NYDFS or SEC reporting standards
You understand financial infrastructure - not just application security
You think in systems, not checklists
You’re comfortable in both Board rooms and engineering discussions
You can navigate the tension between speed and regulatory safety

CISSP (or equivalent executive credential) expected.

Deep cloud-native experience required.

Stablecoin or AI-fintech exposure is a strong advantage.

If you’re ready to build security as core infrastructure - not oversight - this is the mandate.
